The scientific debate on Special Economic Zones (SEZ) shows many contributions, however the present work intends to offer an original perspective to this theme based on a comparison, through a systemic approach, between the sociourban variables, that make up the symbiotic relationships between SEZ, and urban society. A focus on the SEZ settled in the east of Naples, Italy, is also proposed, which well allows to highlight the investigated socio-urban aspects.
